The operator’s voice at the board table
Capital-project reports often compress complex delivery conditions into a small set of percentages. An experienced operator asks what sits beneath those numbers: the remaining quantities, unresolved interfaces, resource assumptions, commissioning logic and exposure if the forecast fails.
That challenge is most valuable when it remains independent, constructive and tied to shareholder outcomes.
